is a Devil's Horse good for Night Fishing?

Would a Devil's Horse topwater lure be consider a good lure for night fishing?

Welcome to the forum!

The best way to find out is to throw it. I like a jitterbug more than anything when it comes to topwater at night, but there is no reason a devil's horse wouldn't work too.

man, this seems like the same guy(not the kid) that was askin all the ?'s about his pond. he is always talkin about a devils horse. if it is, stick with one name. anyways i dont have any idea what a devils horse is so im not much help.

devilshorse is a slender stick bait that floats and when you rip it or retrieve it a blade in the front and one in the back spin..I see people throw it out and reel it in leaving a small wake, but the stop and twitch motion like walking the dog is effective, or pulling it a foot or so and stopping, repeat..its a old school bait

Funny this should come up-the other night I was digging around in the garage and found one. Stuck it in the topwater box. I didn't make the connection until I went into the garage and saw the boat-that reminded me.

I carry one but dont' have much faith in it compared to the buzz bait and pop r

when they are snapping at the buzzbait I like to throw that all day, and my arm pays for it that nite .
Theres nothing like throwing that buzzbait and hit stickups and hold on n wait!

You got that right!

I'm experimenting on getting a squeakier sound out of a buzzbait. I've got some aluminum rivets soaking in bleach to get them rusty, and it looks promising.

i've caught a lot of bass on a dying flutter,which is very similar to a devil's horse.
(never tried them at night)

Reb I just read an article stating to take off the blades carefully, and then take a knife and gouge, scratch the wire where the props spin on, and it will make it a heck of a lot louder.

poe's also makes(or made)some nice chunky prop baits.still have a bunch laying around somewhere.

I have worn out more rivets than i can remember, but heres a real easy trick, esp on the way to the lake, we used to tie our new buzzbaits to the antenna and after just a short time they are clanking and sqeaking just the way you want them, I know cars now dont have many antennas showing but I know you can hold them out or if you have compressed air with a nozzle you can break them in, btw I onced fished with a guy that had 7 trailer hooks on his buzzbait..can you believe it?
I will run one at the most, the pros will tell you to run 1 or two

[Bassin_Dude]

i guess the guy was havin some really short strikes.

Rubber bands to the drivers side mirror ;D . That way I can remove it without having to get out of the truck to change them.
